MURDER.
MS VWHAS NEPHEW SHOOTS ANAN AT
BRIDGEPORT LAST EVENING.
6Srgs Buckingham, Of New Als1ASdrA the Vrtn.
he Msr3sCS Usier Arrsz-ns
Deaf Described

A fatal shooting affray occurred over In
Bridgeport on a C. & p. excursion train at
$50 last evening, in which Geo G. Buck
ingham, Of New Alexandria, received two
bullet wounds at The hands Of Daniel
S~Eearingen.
Buckingham is now lying at the point
of death at the residence Of Mrs Neug-
hardt, in Bridgeport, attended by his
brother, n. P. BuekiDghSm, his sister
josephine Buckingham, and 8 cousin
named W. 7. King, Of WarrentOn.
His brother, y. P. Buckingham, was
interviewed by q REGISTER reporter
yesterday evening and the following facts
learned: The regular excursion train had
pulled up to the c. & P. depot, and, the
trainmea in charge finding the limited
number Of cars insufficient, a telegram had
been sent 10 Bellaire for more ears, and the
train backed down to the c., l. & W.
junction to wait till the cars ordered shold
arrive.
Nh. ". 7. BUCKINGHAM
was sitting in the middle Of q Of the rear
cars and noticed Swearinger and another
fnan sitting on the seat which runs length
wise oftbs car at the front end. Bothseemed
rather under the influence Of liquor, and
were irving to waken another man who
seemed sleepy drunk, and who was lying
in a seat with his head out Of the window.
The men who were trying TO waken him
were working OF that chestnut about
Johnny's hair cut short, and making con-
siderable sport with the intoxicated individ-
nal. While this was going on, George
Buckingham, the victim, came IN, and
made some remark, apparently In jest, with
the Others concerning the sleepy mans
short hair. SWearinger answered him,
and made some demonstrations which In
dictated that he was in = bad humor and
would likely create q disturbance. Buck
iugksm remarked to Swearinger that he
ISwearingerl vas 8 smart Alex, "
and had done him up in a harness trade.
At this SweariDger took OF his coat and IN
a very short space Of time ne and Buck
ingham were ready to begin hoshlities.
AT THIS JUSCTURE
Y. =. Buckingham, the gentleman who
related this occurrence TO your reporter,
came forward and induced the men to re-
sumo psaceab.e relations, and quietsd the
disturbance. 4 large crowd had gathered
by this time, and the car was almost jam
med.
Here the narrator left the ear Ia
which the disturbance had occurred

train. What happened during the next
few minutes no one seemed to know, or At
least no one who would tell could be
found. AESther gentleman who saw the
shooting gave tie following information

..1t am nv painful dooty to inform
dis club dat Brudder Arbustus Jenkins
has passed from airth away" said
Brother Gardner when the trlangle hsu'
ceased to toll. HE was an honorary
member of dis club, libin' in the Stai
oh North Caroliny, an he was only IL,
cents behind on his dues. 1t kn not
be said O Arbustus dat he was either
a statesman, poet, philosopher, ph1-
lanthropist, or scholar. He was simply
an eberyday man. who did not shrink
eandwise when he got wet.
",As a citizen of de United Stats he
did not go braggin' aroun' about our
bein' lie greatest nashun on alrth, but
he had a hickory club laid away fur
any country which might knock de CHIP
off our shoulder.
Gas an elector he went to de polls
ebery time dar was o chance to vote,
an sometimes when der wasn't, an if
he split his ticket it was bekase he was
deeply interested in de matter OF hon
est guv'ment.
"As a laborer he was worthy OF his
hire. When he wasn't workin' he was
thinkin' fur de benefit of his boss. If
! de boss didn't know dis it was his own
fault.
GAS a naybur, he neber borrowed
coffee an sugar w'dout maxim o mark
on de tin cup, SO he could return good
measure.
"A!s q member of de community in
which he dwelt he upheld de law in de
daytime and stole watermeylons under
kiver of darkness, thereby settin'a good
example fur de young.
Gas a church member he prayed soft
an low, an he was half a line behind
all de rest in de singin'. In case he
happened TO be cotched wild a ham be-

How Long to Sleep.

Practically q man should sleep tillhe
is refreshed. The mistake many per-
son make is in attempting to govern
what must be a matter of instinct by
volitional control. When we are weary
we ought to sleep, and when we wake
we should get up. There are no more
vicious habits than adopting measures
to "keeping awake" or employing
articles, or, still worse, resorting to
drugs and other devices to induce or
prolong sleep. Doing is the very
generalization of the sleep function,
and from this pernicious habit arises
much Of the so-called sleeplessness-
more accurately wakefulness--from
which multitudes suffer. That day is
not the time for sleep is evident upon
the face of the fact that nature has pro-
vided the night, wherein no man can or
ought to work. The difficulties about
sleep and sleeplessness-apart from
dreams-are almost uniformly fruits of
perverse refusal to connolly with the laws
Of nature Take, for example, the case
of q man who cannot sleep at night, ~
rather who, having fallen aisle,
awakes. II he is what is called stroli:
minded, he thinks, or perhaps reads,
and falls asleep again. This being re-
peated lays the foundation of a habit Of
waking in the night and thinking or
reading to induce sleep. Before long
the thinking or reading fails to induce
sleep, and the habitual sleeplcssness
occurs, for which remedies are sought
and mischief is done. II the wakeful
man would only rouse himself on waking,
and get up and do a full days work,
Of any sort, and not dose during
the day, when next the night
came round his sixteen or twenty
hours w%akefulness would be
rewarded by q sleep of nine or ten
hours in length; and one or two of these
manful struggles against a perverted
tendency to abnormal habit would
rectify the error and avert the calamity.
The cure to sleeplessness must be
natural, because sleep is a state of
natural rhythmical function. You can.
not tamper with the striking movement
of a clock without injuring it, and you
can not tamper with orderly recurrence.
OF sleep without imparing the constitu-
ton of things on which the orderly per-
formance of that function depends
